Default Rear flex for cheap$$$

Right now i am using 1,5 rear block. total 1,5inches of lift

but if i swap it for 3'' block and add longer shakles 1,5'' (witch decrease lift but should help with wheel travel) total 1,5 lift

what do you think???

3" is a tall block ..... I would be worried about axle wrap especially due to the u-bolts having to be so long. Just my .02

yeah true...but i am curious of the benefits of a longer shakles people have good result with them but us a flip shakles seems impossible or need to cut the frame.


ford people just unscrew them and flip them upsidedown.

You get axle wrap with 2" 3" will look cheap and probably fail. We can flip our shackles
